"Life on Earth is a glorious abundance, richly diverse and phenomenally complex and interconnected. Our seas sparkle with fish species, our skies ring with the cries of birds and our forests are shaded by towering trees. It's worth taking a moment to appreciate how fantastic and how unlikely all this life really is, and to consider how we can protect and support it all for our futures."

"We are just one species among 10m. At the same time, though, we are unique in our ability to interact with one another in a way that enables us to make an impact on the entire planet and every other species. We have also, uniquely, evolved the capacity to evaluate our actions logically and morally from a greater perspective. With this insight comes great responsibility, and it is time for us to shoulder that responsibility – because nature is all we have, and all we are."
Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson
